What Make This Recipe So Good
It’s one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make! Make your filling, make your crumble, then pop it in the oven – that’s it.The sugar curbs some, but not all, of that delicious sour rhubarb flavor. Rhubarb is one of those foods that cannot be eaten raw, but when cooked it’s delicious! You will always find rhubarb paired with sugar to help balance out its extremely tart flavor. This recipe is careful not to overdo it on the sugar, allowing that sour rhubarb flavor to gently shine through.It works well with most fruits! Add 1 cup of your favorite berry to this rhubarb crumble for an extra tasty addition.
Key Ingredients
Rhubarb – Either fresh or frozen rhubarb will work in this recipe. The most important thing to remember when preparing your rhubarb for this recipe, is to cut it in even-sized 1-inch pieces. This will ensure the rhubarb cooks evenly and perfectly tender. Oats – I recommend using rolled oats in this rhubarb crumble, though quick oats will work as well. Avoid steel cut oats as they can take longer to cook. Oats give incredible texture to the crumble in this recipe, and even soak up a bit of that delicious juice released by the rhubarb during baking. Brown Sugar – Feel free to use all white sugar in this recipe! I prefer brown sugar for its caramel-y flavor and truly believe it makes a great addition to the taste of this rhubarb crumble. Though if you don’t have brown sugar, you can easily swap it out for whatever sugar you’d like.
Chef’s Tips
Make things even easier on yourself and use the same bowl to mix up your crumble as you used to mix up the filling. A little cross-contamination of flavors between the filling and topping is totally ok in this recipe. Everything is going to the same place, so don’t stress about it!If you’re worried about rhubarb pieces sticking to your baking dish, you can lightly grease it with some butter. What I do is take the the wrapper from the stick of butter I’ll be using in my crumble, and run the inside of the wrapper along the inside of my baking dish before adding the filling.Let the crumble cool slightly before serving. If you plan on topping your rhubarb crumble with ice cream, you’ll want to let it cool outside of the oven for at least 15 minutes.
